Since a few days I'm running the ICS stockrom on an unrooted Note. Before on the GB I was have not the best reception with Wifi, but it was working. Now, with ICS, my Wifi is connecting/disconnecting/connecting/and so on within a matter of seconds. I'm experiencing this on multiple Wifi networks. Therefore I would say it does not concern the settings of my Wifi network, also I'm practically sitting on the router (channel, reception can't be issue).
I've installed ICS via Kies and have done an additional factory reset today.
Does anybody know what could be the cause of this? And, more important, how to solve it?

Others have had similar issues - try reflashing the same modem from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645202
I found that wi-fi and data both worked better after flashing the modem a second time.
Thank you very much it seems to be working!!
I had to look to find out how to get the phone in download mode, but got it.
Sad to say I did an unneeded factory reset this morning, but yeah it is working now!
I've been also noticing momentary WiFi disconnections ever since I upgraded to ICS.
I'm using MyPhoneExplorer to transfer files wirelessly to the device (not via USB), and ever since ICS it has became an unreliable way to transfer files. If I transfer a big file most chances are that the WiFi connection will drop during the transfer, causing it to fail.
The connection is restored immediately but then I have to restart the transfer process as it halts when the connection fails.
I have excellent signal level (physically located close to the Access Point), I tried flashing the latest modem firmware (XXLR1) - twice, I've set "2.4GHz only" in the WiFi advanced settings, all to no avail: I still get these connection drops.
The same setup (phone, access point, etc) has all been working well in the past with GB. Now with stock ICS it performs poorly.
Has anybody got any information about this problem? Been experiencing similar problems?
Thanks!
I've been getting this issue too but it seems to only be with our virgin router, all other devices connected to it are fine although the signal is a bit crap on them to its at least stable
I tried the modem flash etc but no improvement, I'm pretty sure its the ****e virgin router

At my side it seems to be working better now, steps I've taken (in this order):
1. Flashing new modem
2. Enter fixed IP address for my home Wifi
3. At Settings->Wifi->Advanced->Leave Wifi on when enabled
Especially the last seems to have done me good. I have it working in combination with BatteryFu so it does not consume my complete battery.

Well, the AP that I had problems with is a relatively recent D-Link 802.11n router. Nevertheless, I tried connecting with an old Cisco 802.11g router, and lo and behold - connection is now stable.
So, looks like there is indeed some interoperability problems but I won't dismiss this as a "****e <X-company> router" - as the same router is working well with other clients, and moreover, was working well with this phone when it was running an older GB firmware.
My conclusion is that apparently somebody at Samsung / Google has broken the Wi-Fi drivers, interoperability-wise.

You probably mean leav wifi on when screen is off? My phone is already set this way... Anyhow, thanks, but it looks like this is a problem with a specific router as I wrote in the first part of this message.
Last week, I decided to finally unlock, root, and flash a custom ROM onto my Sprint HTC One. I started with the LiquidSmooth 3.0 Beta, which I really like, but encountered some issues with the WiFi connection.
Essentially, my WiFi connection will, at various times, stop working. When this happens, my phone still shows as being connected to the WiFi AP. Sometimes, I can get my data working again by turning WiFi off and then back on. Other times, after turning my WiFi off, it will refuse to connect to anything when I turn WiFi back on. At this point, I have to reboot my phone to get WiFi working again. Once, the WiFi started working again about 3-4 after I had noticed it wasn't working.
The WiFi generally seems to work best at home, where I have just 1 AP the phone connects to, though it will still sometimes freeze. It is much worse at work, where there are multiple APs as you move throughout the building. When the phone was using stock, the WiFi would usually take a minute or so to regain data when moving between different areas of the building, but now it usually just never regains connection. The notification will show that it is connected, but with 0 signal strength.
Looking around, I've seen that some other people have had similar situations. I tried the solution of renaming my device in the WiFi Direct settings. This seemed to make the WiFi work a little better at home, but no different at work. Some other people said they flashed a newer radio, but I seem to have the latest radio on my phone. And this issue is not related purely to LiquidSmooth. I tried out the SlimKat ROM and encountered the same WiFi problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
A while ago, the wifi on my phone started to behave strangely. Sometimes, it wouldn't connect to my modem and other times connected flawlessly. Now it stopped connecting. 3 weeks have passed and it didn't connect to any routers. I changed my router, tried connecting to public, open wifi and friends wifi but nothing worked. I even bought a wifi antenna and replaced the one inside my phone & tried setting up a static IP but it still doesn't work. I was on N4 elite when the problems started, as usual I already tried the wipe cache etc.. flash stock 4.4.4 but still nothing. I'm on stock 4.4.4 now.
when I switch on wifi it searches and finds all nearby connections. but when I try connecting to one of them the signal strength meter decreases to zero and then it says saved.
Any solution? thanks in advance

You can try flashing a custom rom. Maybe it fixes your device. It can reveal if the problem is with your antenna or with your rom

Tried lots of different roms, still doesn't work
Few days after upgrading to Oxygen stock pie , i cannot connect to any Wifi. Ive tried public wireless points and different AP and the answer is always the same.
Now I have reset my phone to Oxygen Os 5.0.8 and its still the same. It can find Wifi APs but cannot connect to them.
Everything else works including GPS, Bluetooth, Data and even Wifi hotspot
Any suggestions?
I just found a possible hint. If I place the phone very close to the router, almost touching it. The wifi connects.
Possibly an antenna issue? Does anyone know of changing the wifi antenna
Hi, today I received the EU update to MIUI 12.5 - 12.5.1.0(RFAEUXM) . However, now my Mi 9 can't connect to wireless networks. I already tried restore the network defaults and then the factory reset without success. Any ideas?
The behavior is - I move the switch to turn on, seems like it is on but no networks are displayed. If I move away to other apps and then look again for wifi switch, it is off again. I feel some lag when I go into wifi settings pages and after turn the switch on.
Do you have some system apps disabled? I remember similar behaviour when I used to disable/remove system apps on Q.
If factory resetting did not help you, then it's definitely the OS has a problem. Wait for another update, or try to reflash the latest firmware using PC.
No, I don't :/
I already looked into logcat and seems related with the wifi driver the issue:
07-12 16:42:33.989 846 846 E [email protected]: Failed to write driver state control param: Invalid argument
07-12 16:42:33.989 846 846 E [email protected]: Failed to load WiFi driver
07-12 16:42:33.989 846 846 E [email protected]: Failed to initialize firmware mode controller
07-12 16:42:33.989 846 846 E [email protected]: Wifi HAL start failed
It's complicated just live with mobile data and a limited plan until a new update. I believe that I can't reflash because I don't have the Mi 9 unlocked and to unlock it I should wait (360h I believe). I already tried the "download latest package" from "about phone" but I still have the wifi issue.
Downgrade or flash another ROM should work but as I said I have the phone locked.
That's a lot like Kernel issue, small update should fix it. Send a report to Xiaomi regards the issue.
Since you're locked, you better wait this fortnight.
Same issue here, have tried to reset Wifi, Mobile network and Bluetooth settings but no improvements
Have restored MIUI 12.0.5.0 from Fastboot in order to get Wifi working again...
Very bad work from Xiaomi for this

I first experienced this issue after updating my mi 10t global to 12.1.3. It's a known bug and has been discussed at greater length on the mi community website. It remains unfixed in the 12.5.1 update.
However, there is a temporary solution that will allow you to reconnect to your wifi network. You'd have to change your ip settings from dhcp to static, and enter the relevant digits. That's it.
On a separate a note, 12.1.3 also introduced a mobile data bug that remains unfixed in 12.5.1. If you've set a private dns provider hostname under private ip, you will no longer be able to use mobile data. You'd have to toggle this setting to off or auto to get mobile data working again.

If you're able to see your wifi network name listed under wifi assistant or available networks, even if it's not active/connected you should be able to press the arrow on the right and enter the settings for that network. Here you'd have to change ip address from dhcp to static, then enter the relevant digits in the spaces that appear below (assuming you know what they are). Then press the tick up at the top right to save before exiting.
I have same problem
I found this on Youtube and its work for me
This is definitely not the same problem.
Our issue is about the Wifi that is not working at all, no wireless networks, no connection, phone constantly crashing when entering Wifi menu.
Also, there is an issue with GPS Localisation (maybe related to the wifi as the phone is using wifi to have more accurate result).
Have received again today the 12.5.1.0 update and the issue is still here...

Same here, but the static IP roundabout don't works
My Xiaomi T10 could not connect only to *some* wifi, it has been so since when I purchased it.
I tried different solution and never worked.
Only few days ago I updated to MIUI 12.5 and I tried the first method here (basically reset the wifi settings)
Xiaomi: How to Fix Wi-Fi Problem When Updating to MIUI 12 | ITIGIC
Many of Xiaomi's phones are still updating to MIUI 12. The company's new layer integrates a large number of novelties at the aesthetic and functional level. However, as often happens on many occasions, there are problems that only arise when these new versions reach thousands and thousands of...
itigic.com
and it worked!
give it a try, hope this helps, it bothered me for such a long time!
The latest MIUI update automatically fixed all my wi-fi/data woes. It's about time.
Hello,
Got a Mi11 and ran into wifi problems, fought a bit...
My problem was that wifi kept disconnecting, just like in the video above (from nepal). I had noticed that it did not with all access points (specifically with mine !).
Having had the same problem a while back with an oculus go, I did the same : forcing a static ip.
Didn't work with the Mi but I [desperately] set the dns to "plain google" (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) and wifi sticked !
Then I checked my ap settings and noticed that my ap advertised its global dns (eg 192.169.0.254) and not itself as the dns provider, corrected that on the phone, that is putting the router adress as dns 1, and it works reliably now.
Looks like if android doesn't get a specific ip or address positively upon connecting an access point, it drops it to connect to the next, wich sounds like a good idea...
Hope that helps some of you...
Hello,
Thanks for your advice but this solution cannot be applied here as the Wifi cannot start at all and when you try to look at it after trying to activate it, system panel hang and crash.
I have tried to dig a little bit to see where this problem can come from but haven't found anything yet.
I have check the /persist partition as there is no way to check the Wifi MAC Address with MIUI 12.5.1.0 but no, the partition is still fine (as everything is working properly with MIUI 12.0.5.0)
I have opened 3 tickets by using the Xiaomi official reporting tool but nothing yet... I guess they have abandonned the Mi 9 as MIUI 12.5.1.0 is considered the latest MIUI for this phone.
It would be good to find some Mi 9 users that have successfully installed MIUI 12.5.1.0 (the EEA version) on their phone.
Anyone have tried the recent 12.5.2.0(RFAEUXM) on their Mi9?
In order to know if the wifi bug is still there or not.
Thanks!
I have the Xiaomi M11 lite 5G NE with Miui 12.5, when I exit the house, my WiFi turns off automically, so when I get back I have to toggle WiFi to turn it on again. I have seen some Adroid Advanced settings and one of them is Turn Off Wifi automatically. This seems to be activated, but I can't undo that setting.
Anyone else have this problem where your WiFi is turned off automatically?
Latest available MIUI 12.5 (12.5.2.0) fix the Wifi issue.
